Quick Service Questions
How many hours should an experienced corvette shop take to remove and replace:
1) all four Shocks?
2) all four Rotors and new brake pads?
3) Take 4 tires Off old wheel and install on new wheels and reconnect the TPS?
Just curious! Thanks.

how long it takes them and how much they charge you is different... as far as shop hours they charge you these would be my estimates:
shocks- .5 to 1hr each
brakes- 1hr per wheel
tires- 2hrs
so if you did all 4 shocks, brakes all the way around, and 4 tires that would be 10-12 shop hours plus parts costs... obviously the technician will be able to do it in half of that time or less but you aren't going to be charged according to how fast or slow a technician is
